With Honduras beating El Salvador 4-0, that's enough for Curacao to go through. Historic achievement for them. They have a very unbalanced squad. 3-4 players who are, or have been in top leagues at some point where as the rest play in the Dutch lower leagues. That's still 3-4 more players than you'd expect a small carribean island to have though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said a while ago that Curacao that will be a decent football side soon, they will only get better, its amazing the work Kluivert did to put them where they are now.

Eco Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Tonight is Panama vs USA. Winners wins the groups and gets to play Curacao. On paper, only two teams in this tournament are not a bore to watch, and that's Mexico and USA. I Imagine it could be an easy route for Mexico and USA to meet in the finals.

SirBalon Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Isn’t there any way of integrating the Gold Cup into the Copa América which makes total sense. It would make the competition a world wide phenomenon by being inclusive of the whole continent like the European Championships are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's silly that Mexico or the USA always piss it, but it gives other teams like El Salvador or Honduras, with pretty sizeable populations, a chance to compete and celebrate the tournament. It will also dilute quality in the Copa America and qualification times would be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualification formats could mean one or two weaker teams could sneak in. Although the easiest thing to do if they do merge is to just make qualifying for Carribean and central american teams, while automatically qualifying all 10 South Americans + Mexico and the USA. Just like in 2016. Still, I am against it because the Copa America is a tournament with great history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Copa AMERICA, why not involve....I don't know...the AMERICAS. This tournament should always include both North & South America, it makes the most sense and only adds viewers and $$$ to the tournament .Gold Cup can fuck off.

Guest Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Canada lead 2-0 against Haiti. I know Haiti are a mess defensively but that doesn't change how good Canada has been in the midfield and up front. A joy to watch. Defensively still suspect but they should have enough to grind this to a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Käiser Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Coach should be sacked. Why is Davies playing as left back?? total collapse. And then they wonder why there is no following for the national team when they lose to team whose country is still recovering from an devastating earthquake. I need to vent cuz this should not have happened. Heartbreaking. Disgusting. What halftime talk did the coach give? Not much of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Costa Rica and Mexico to extra time. I want los Ticos to win. Nowt against Mexico but this Costa Rica generation needs to win something before they move on. They did well in that World Cup but have won nothing. Jamaica and Panama have been to more Gold Cup finals since the start of this generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Started too late for me to stay up and watch. Saw we lost 1-0, but we missed 'a lot' of chances. Regardless, losing to Mexico 1-0 isn't a shock, and this tournament saw a lot of improvement in our team. Congrats @Teso dos Bichos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
